[birdky] Re: finches

One thing I have found over the years is occasionally a batch  of thistle 
seed will get old and the goldfinches stop coming. Whenever I  notice a 
decrease 
in finches, I just load the thistle feeder with a  new batch of seed and dump 
the old thistle in with my oil sunflower  seed. The finches always 
miraculously reappear, and as a added bonus, the  sparrows seem to enjoy the 
old thistle 
that falls to the ground from my  hanging sunflower seed feeder.

Where are the finches? Our feeder has been full of Thistle seed for about two 

weeks and no sign of either goldfinches or house finches.
